For all those waiting for the Pathfinder 2e sheet, the first generation is now live! There are some known issues and pending additional functionality, and any bug reports should be made here.

November is coming, and with it comes 'National Novel Writing Month', or NaNoWriMo. For those who don't know, this is an annual personal challenge to write a short novel of 50,000 words or more in one month. Sign up may be found here: NaNoWriMo Sign Up

If you sign up or have already signed up, you can go to the following link and give your name as registered on the NaNoWriMo site to have your tracking widget added in the thread. Weavers have been participating in the challenge since 2012, both helping brainstorm with each other as well as providing support and encouragement where needed.

On December 15th we will begin the Myth Weavers Storycrafting Contest, which will have some great prizes! Writers will have two months to write a short story about a fantasy-setting minor holiday that has been selected by staff. Full details will be announced on the start date, but we will reveal part of the grand prize: a Farland campaign setting! Check here for current info on the contest!

So! Happy New Year, everyone. What better way to kick things off than by betting on which of our favorite celebrities might die. Morbid? Tacky? Possibly in bad taste? Yes, yes, and definitely. But we're a community who thrive off worse through RPGs, so this might be a nice change of pace.

I'm changing the rules up a bit for this one. And because I won 2016 I will not be participating this year.

To start off with, everybody picks 10 people. That much remains unchanged. It can be anyone you want, as long as they are relatively famous. Remember, this isn't anyone you necessarily want to see die, so much as people you think will die. Feel free to pick the same people as someone else. Fictional characters are allowed, but max one per person.

For each death you get correct, you will be awarded a certain number of points. The base is 10 for each person, plus an additional number based on how old they were when they died. (100 - their age)

I'll be keeping track of points in this main post here.

I'll accept entries up until the end of January. After that, we begin the waiting game. Winner gets bragging rights and the ability to host next year's Deadpool. In the event of a tie, an arbitrary tiebreaker game will be held.

Hoping to see a few more people involved this year! Good luck, and have fun!

Can you make that clause say something about relative familiarity please? If we can use fictional characters, I'd like to see it be limited to those that are pretty popular and not some d-list obscurity in a book maybe 3 people have read.

That was the idea behind the "relatively famous" clause I had already included. The way I see it, this little event is relatively informal so it's safe to go with the intent behind the words rather than their literal way they were written.
